Chapter 1216 Murderous Intent

Because of the warm current of the North Atlantic Ocean and the prevailing westerly wind, the fleet was smooth sailing all the way and approached the local area in just a month.

However, Marin did not land directly in Emden, but took four 250-class armed merchant ships to William Military Port in the northern part of Oldenburg Province. There were few people there and it was a very hidden military port. Merchant ships were not allowed to approach, fishing boats were also set up on land, and ordinary people were strictly prohibited from crossing the line.

Marin was very cautious and didn't know what the situation was now. In order to avoid a drastic change in the local area, he first sent a ship to Wilhelmshaven to find out the news. After discovering that there was no coup in the North Sea Kingdom, the ship posed a banner to Marin's ship - everything was safe.

Then, Marin took the remaining three ships to the dock. Moreover, he landed in the evening when he landed. Scheer, the commander of Wilhelmshaven Navy Fleet, also transferred ordinary sailors as ordered, leaving only a small number of confidants to welcome Marin to avoid leaking information.

When they landed, Marin and his men were all wearing black cloaks, clearly showing their identities. They entered the interior of the Wilhelmshaven Naval Command, and Marin and Kahn took off their cloaks.

After dinner, Marin sat on the dining table, smoking her homemade cigarettes while asking:

"Tell me, what happened in China in the past two years?"

Scher thought for a while and said:

"A lot of things happened. The first year you left, the country was very peaceful and nothing happened. However, starting from the second year, someone secretly started to spread rumors that you had been buried in the sea..."

"Haha..." Marin sneered, not surprising about this.

After taking a few more sips of cigarettes, Marin continued to ask:

"Who are jumping around?"

"The main reason is that the frustrated old nobles in Bremen danced happily, but they were not very threatening. I heard that some German princes secretly sent people to win over generals in the army... and even France might be involved..."

Marlin suddenly shook all over...

Those frustrated nobles, as Scher said, would not be able to make trouble even if they make trouble. However, if someone reaches out to his army, it would be a big deal.

You should know that most of Marin's army was recruited from the mountainous areas in southern Germany, and was not native to their own people. Although Marin was very nice to them and gave them good treatment, it was with Marin still alive.

However, under the influence of the rumor that "Malin has been buried in the sea", it is difficult to ensure that anyone will be worried...

So Marin asked Schell to send someone to contact Kohler overnight and asked Kohler to come to Wilhelmshaven. By the way, Schell was also an intelligence officer under Kohler before. It was just because he was a captain, had experience in naval battles, and was more reliable, so Marin was transferred to Wilhelmshaven. Therefore, it was very convenient for Schell's people to contact Kohler.

Kohler rushed over early the next morning after receiving the news and brought Sauer, another intelligence leader under Marin. Both of them were intelligence leaders, but Kohler was mainly responsible for the collection of external intelligence and civilian intelligence, while Sauer was mainly responsible for monitoring the army and officials.

Because they knew that Marin wanted to keep it secret, both of them came over on horseback after putting on makeup and pretending to be ordinary messengers.

After seeing Marin, both of them rushed up excitedly and hugged Marin. Of course, Kohler would not forget his elder brother Kahn.

Seeing this, Marin first asked Kohler and Kahn to tell him that his brothers had left, and then summoned Sauer in the secret room. In fact, he was also worried that the two of them would deceive him in a series of ways, so he would feel more at ease.

"Is the army okay?" Marin came up and went straight to the point. He was too lazy to ask the officials questions, because if the army was stable, it would be better than anything else. After all, there would be power in the gun barrel. Even in the very chaotic ten years, the army would not have any major problems. Otherwise, it would have collapsed long ago.

Saul frowned and said:

"According to the investigation of intelligence personnel, it seems that some Wandering Knights who defected to you had a shaken heart after hearing the rumors about you. Over the past year, many middle-level officers from the Wandering Knight family have been secretly contacted by outsiders..."

"Is there any leaking problem? I mean, agricultural issues. You know, the secret of high agricultural yields, is the foundation of the founding of the Beihai Kingdom..."

"Maybe... there may be some leaks..." Saul hesitated and said.

"Some leaks? How do you say it?" Marin didn't understand.

Saul explained:

"It's true that our high-level generals have basically not wavered, but a small number of middle-level officers who are unsatisfied and some low-level officers may tend to leak information. For example, some people have revealed their opinions to the public when you value high-yield secrets. However, those middle-level officers who are unsatisfied and unsatisfied and have no special understanding of the secrets of high-yield agriculture, but only know that we have a special fertilizer that can make the land highly productive. But the problem is that they do not know the specific formula of fertilizer..."

"Haha..." Malin laughed. At the beginning, he specially built a fertilizer yard to collect feces and centrally processed it. He also specifically required the feces to ferment and air-dry for several months to make the odor as low as possible. Therefore, even if many people have seen fertilizers, they may not be aware of feces inside.

In addition, only a few of the most reliable people such as Kohler know the source of apatite and potassium salt. Even close friends like Kohler only know potassium salt, but not apatite. Because the potassium salt mine was bought by Kohler. And the apatite mine in Ayuen, Western Sahara, and Marin sent someone else to do it.

Therefore, in the entire Beihai Kingdom, few people know all three types of compound fertilizers. Even a close friend like Kohler knows that feces and potassium salts are two kinds. However, they also know that fish bones and fish internal organs can replace apatite. The reason why Marin used apatite instead of fish internal organs was to keep it more confidential. After all, in Europe, except for Marin and his confidants, no one knew what apatite was...

"So, those who are betrayal are asking about the ingredients of fertilizer?"

Sauer nodded:

"Yes, it was because they were asking about the ingredients of the fertilizer that our spy caught clues and targeted them..."

"How did you deal with it?"

"It's still under research... Mainly, Schwartz believes that when you are not here, you should focus on stability and try to avoid conflicts with other countries... After all, if we find some princes, we can't do it casually..."

Marin nodded, Schwartz's approach was correct. He was indeed a little unconsidered when he left the local area. He mainly read too many novels in his previous life and had a very serious plot in the Ming Dynasty, so he ran to the Ming Dynasty irrationally to read it.

If you are not here, the country is unparalleled, and people will definitely be in panic. In addition, someone maliciously spreads rumors, it is indeed not suitable to turn against others.

Fortunately, because I did a good job in keeping my secrets at the beginning, I did not let the enemy succeed completely. After all, people's hearts are greedy. Those middle and lower-level officers who are interested will definitely not be willing to get a complete fertilizer formula. After all, a complete fertilizer formula is a very good reputation. Taking this reputation to surrender to other princes will definitely be reused.

After Kohler and Kahn came in after their brotherhood, Marin ordered:
Chapter completed!
